A Marriage of Convenience Regency Romance
by Trisha Fuentes
Lady Beatrice Winfield bears society's cruel judgment with quiet dignity. Widowed after less than a year of marriage to an elderly husband, the whispers follow her everywhere—barren, unlucky, cursed. Resigning herself to a life of spinsterhood under her father's roof, she never imagines that a proposal from one of England's most formidable earls will offer an escape from her lonely existence.
Roman Caldwell, the imposing Earl of Greymoor, has encased his heart in ice since losing his beloved wife. After two years of mourning, duty now demands an heir. He seeks no love match—merely a practical arrangement with a well-bred lady who shares his pragmatic view of matrimony. In Lady Beatrice, with her composed demeanor despite society's scorn, he sees the perfect candidate—a woman who longs for children as much as he requires an heir.
Behind closed doors, Beatrice discovers embers of passion beneath Roman's cold facade. Meanwhile, Roman finds himself unexpectedly captivated by his new countess's gentle strength and quiet grace.
But just as their reluctant hearts begin to thaw, shadows from Roman's first marriage threaten everything they've built together. In a world where appearances reign supreme, they must decide—is the love they never sought worth fighting for?
